Of my story which tella only OF Dorothy'e

Of Dorothy's struggle may be understood
The Bepans had once been wealthy.
Then MIR. Bevan had ppeculated and lost
every thing but some farming land abou.
twenty-five miles from the city and three
from the railroad. On the land was an OLD
house and az neither he nor his wife un-
deEatood very much about country lie he
had tried to kell the property even for half
Its value; but finding no customer ap-
peared they went out to 1.-Two on the farm,
until cuBtomer should appear. This was
ten years ago. They were still at the com.
fortress place, and now little likely to
leave 1t, Tor two years Mr.. Beyan had son.e
trouble with his knee aud had become
very lame. Mrs. Bevan had kept up rela.
tions with the outside world by means OF
correspondence, but she rarely had visitors
even her nitces had only been to the place
once and left 1t with q profound pity for
their poor aunt. Mrs. Beyan's ono amuse-
ment and, considering how much dollar
was to her-her one extravaganza, was
writing letters to old friends, come OF
whom she visited occasionally. s1gEl 81
1t was early spring when tho girls ar
pect. the trees were just putting forth ten.
der green leaflets, everything in nature
seemed awakening and full Of promise, but
once inside the house what G contrast!
Mr.. Beyan had never had neans to put 1t
into proper order, and 1t was plainly the
abode OF extreme poverty, and yet the
furniture, come OF II very handsome, still
redeemed it from solid ugliuess, even
though it made the walls Of broken plss.
ter more hideous. The floors were nearly
all uncarpeted. ,4S. - !.
But whatever was lacking in comfort
was amply made up in the warm WELCOME
from M's. Beyan who said "a abe kissed

"Thank you aunt an glad you did,
